Hello Friends,

Not much of a start to Sunday morning. We had a little shower in Dee Why to open proceedings. Mostly cloudy skies and about 10 kts of NNE wind greeted the hardy types who paddled out into the mush anyway. The MHL data shows about 1.5 metres of 6 second period NE wind swell – and it looks just like you’d expect.

Conditions are set to sputter along at more or less this rate for the rest of the day, and indeed, into mid-week.

For the first time in weeks, the long range swell forecast models are currently showing the possibility of a change to southerly conditions and with it maybe some solid south swell toward the end of the coming week. The model confidence is not high, so put this into the “watching brief” category.

Have yourself a great Sunday!
